Tokio Hotel know that everybody hurts. Like a lot. And sometimes those hurts cut so deep it takes a minute to figure out how to put them into words.

Or, in the case of the German techno pop glam band, four years to find the right way to crack open their glitter- and gloom-filled hearts for our entertainment. But, with their signature mix of electro beats, new wave-y keyboards, disco swagger and shiny future shock rock, the band's follow-up to 2009's Humanoid is like a shot of adrenaline to their legion of fiercely loyal Aliens.

What you need to know: Can you say "power ballad"? Now can you say "please don't go"?

Key lyric: "One night, one scream, one echo/Silence louder than before/One tear of blood on the floor/Cold wind through my broken door."

10. Never Let You Down

What you need to know: It's hectic and hot, and then it's chill and out of this world. But whatever you call it, it's love, and it's got a beat that will make your heart run.

Key lyric: "I wanna fly with you above the end/I promise you I'll be a better man again."

11. Louder Than Love

What you need to know: It might feel sad and lonely now, alone in the dark, but nothing, I repeat, nothing is louder than love. But, strangely, this soothing EDM tune is not that loud.

Key lyric: "Exploding sounds of loneliness/Echo through the night/Raise your hands and cover up your ears/And if you have the courage now/Leave them by your side/For once in your life."

12. Masquerade

What you need to know: Not gonna lie: no idea what this one is about, but it feels kind of post-apocalyptic-y, and it has big, dumb guitar, so all good.

Key lyric: "In time we hide in a masquerade of heroes/A million lies behind blue eyes/in a masquerade of heroes."

13. Dancing In The Dark

What you need to know: Nope, not the Bruce Springsteen song, but a glitchy, twitchy robot rock tune about how sometimes you just have to dance all by yourself with the lights off to try and burn off that love you just can't shake.

Key lyric: "Snow blows through my mind/It makes you comin' back to me/Just that one more time/But your feelings are gone."

14. The Heart Get No Sleep

What you need to know: Tribal beats, a slow beat build that would make Avicii proud and lyrics about "burning diamonds" and setting the world on fire. What's not to love?

Key lyric: "And I can set the world on fire/Just to see you come undone/I'm falling out, it feels like flying/Into the daylight, into the daylight."

15. Great Day

What you need to know: A nice, chill comedown for the rocket ride of heartbreak, the final track is a slow-burn rocker with a killer new wave keyboard riff about making peace with love lost.

Key lyric: "It's a great day to say goodbye/It's ok 'cause I'll be alright."
